We, in Israel, feel that Israel is in grave danger, maybe more than ever before! President George W. Bush is determined to sacrifice Israel on the altar of his misconception that this will serve the strategic interests of the United States.
Women in Green cannot stress strongly enough how important it is that you show, with your presence, that you are uncompromisingly and adamantly against the division of Jerusalem, or any part of Israel!
I am sure there will be additional organizations that will also arrange permits for demonstrations in Annapolis, such as the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) etc. I have not received their definite plans as yet.
WARNING!
In this connection I must issue a very important warning. Investigate the sponsors of any planned demonstration in Annapolis very carefully before joining. For instance, it has come to my attention that some organizations which are not working completely in Israel's interest, (no names mentioned), are possibly trying to recruit people for their own agendas. One organization that asked Women in Green to join them in their demonstration, turned out to be affiliated with the Hillary Clinton Campaign and the promotion of gay rights in the US.
You must Google the names of demonstration sponsors carefully before joining!!
AFSI, of course, is completely Kosher.
We wish we could be there with you, but Women in Green must stay on the forefront of the battle, here, in Israel.
With Blessings and Love for Israel,
Ruth and Nadia Matar
Women in Green
